    Dam , i been diggin' these..you rock man.

    so....gotta ask..
    what does one of these ****ers weigh in at?
    are the blocks gutted? and all the other stuff just shells too?(blowers, valve train, etc) or are they complete internally?

    I would love to have one of these on my front porch, or out back by my shop..bet they would be a bit spendy though..better keep my moooola for the deal im building already:eek:

    yes the mower is next, I made new reed valves for it the other day and got it running. It doesnt have much compression though. I have a new piston and rings coming for it. I want to cut the lawn with it once befor I over restore the **** out of it!

    Outrageous! I love it!

    Someone asked about the mini Cragars, I've seen some in golf cart books, like from Buggies Unlimited and such.

    Mark (Moriarity) ... as expected, your "Super Volks" ZINGER clone turned out fantastic!


    ... and while you're at it, might as well clone the other models too ...

    Exactly how many are on your inheritance list and what would it take to be included? If bribery would help PM me with the amount and I'll see what I can do. Always fantasized about robbing a bank.............this might be the perfect excuse.

    I know that Chuck sculpted the body bucks for the ones he built, and the dragster that Tansy built had a steel body (I used to own it) I cant vouch for the dune buggy but I cloned it using a dune buggy go kart body and it would make sense that it what Steve did also
